Using this as a reference:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-15.html#ss15.4

   #!/usr/local/bin/perl
        $|=1;
        while (<>) {
                s at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors at http://myhost.org/mirrors@;
                print;
        }

Then name the mirror text files on myhost.org accordingly.  I thought they
used the same list, but it appears that up2date uses
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors instead.
